Sales Tax Calculator
Calculate sales tax amount and total price.
The sales tax calculator computes the tax amount and final price for goods and services, handling both inclusive and exclusive tax scenarios. In India, GST (Goods and Services Tax) replaced most sales taxes in 2017 — this calculator handles all GST slabs (0%, 5%, 12%, 18%, 28%) and can also compute older VAT-era taxes for reference. For international users, it supports US state sales tax rates and UK VAT.
📋 How to Use This Calculator
Enter the base price of the item and select the tax rate. Choose whether the entered price is pre-tax (tax exclusive) or inclusive of tax. The calculator shows the tax amount, final price, and the reverse calculation. The GST breakdown shows CGST and SGST (each half of the total GST) for intra-state transactions, or IGST for inter-state.
